graceful shutdown immediately after post a large number of events looks like lose received events.

• case 1
  post 10 events -> graceful shutdown immediately -> file output contains 10 events

• case 2
  post 100000 events -> graceful shutdown immediately -> file output doesn't contains 100000 events

• desired behavior of case 2
  post 100000 events -> graceful shutdown immediately -> file output contains 100000 events

[repeatedly]

Hmm.... looks like in_forward stops event loop to shutdown and it causes pending requests are ignored when at-most-once.
Need to check event loop handling.
